Yes, the magazines are actually a good idea, but why didn't they make it look like a semi auto instead of a revolver?

I don't know the brand, unless it is that Splash Masters in the lower left corner of the box.  I got the picture off the internet.

Guys, that "innovatively designed" LOL, clip fed revolver was an import and is sold  by my old  stomping grounds,Walgreens- The same innovators who once advertised a fly swatter (handle included ) !! ROFL

Well, John it would have been hard to use that fly swatter without a handle!  LOL

BTW, if you miss your opportunity to buy your very own "clip fed revolver" do not despair- That clearance tag is just an end of season closeout- Yep, they carried this wonderful item for years, and it will likely be around next summer !! Sorry, they don't take pre-orders--LOL !!

I may have to buy one of those just for the novelty of it.  Never take it out of the package, just display it!  LOL

An automatic revolver is a revolver that uses the energy of firing for cocking the hammer and revolving the cylinder, rather than using manual operations to perform these actions.
Versions:
The Norwegian Landstad revolver, designed and introduced in 1900
The Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver was the first commercial example, introduced in 1901.
The Union Automatic Revolver of French origin...An unpopular and unsuccessful weapon
The Zulaica Automatic Revolver M. Zulaica y Cia., Eibar, Spain. began manufacturing 'Velo-Dog' type pocket revolvers in the early 1900s
In 1997, the Mateba company developed a type of recoil-operated automatic revolver, the Mateba Unica auto-revolver, which uses recoil energy to auto-rotate a revolver cylinder holding 6 or 7 cartridges, depending on the model. -- I had shot one a number of times and it was unique as it fired the bottom of the chamber not the top -- This is similar to the Chiappa Rhino that I now have.

There was no Henry pistol (rifle yes) with a lever but a Volcanic and they used rimfire ammo.

The Henry ejected the empty casings by working the lever beginning in 1860.  Colt didn't have  a cartridge revolver until I believe about 1870, the open top.  Of course they had the Single Action Army or Peacemaker in 1873.  I don't remember offhand when but S&W break open revolvers would eject the empties by spring action when opened.
